DREARY OUTLOOK IN IRELAND.
Tbs Governments Idiotic PoIicy-Serious
Trouble Anticipated.


T. c. Crawford in New York World.
The effect Of the stupid policy of the
Tory government is shown in the reports
which have received from various parts
OF Ireland. This policy Of coercion has
done everything to strengthen and har
monte the Irish people, but toe principal
effect has been to give good standing to
men who had lost their footing al home.
There is no small newspaper in Ireland
with decaying circulation that Is not at
once materially benefited by defgiGg in
violent language the coercion act. There
are none OF tie local politicians who have
become unpopular and who have
lost their influence who have not
been able to regain it st once
by attacking the Tory governments
and defyiug the coercion act. Nearly
every leader in Ireland courts imprison-
ment under the coercion act. Imprisonz
ment by the English authorities Cor politi-.
Cal offenses is equivalent, in Ireland, TO s.
patent of nobility. There is no man VINO
suffers imprisonment for devotion to the
Irish cause who can afterwards became
unpopular. He will be considered ss a.
hero and martyr. The foremost friends
of home rule in Ireland believe 4that g
compromise plan could be arranged which
would, in the cad secure tie support OF
the best people in England. Tie plan
would give such an Independent govern
ment to Ireland as we have now in the
United States, but 1t would divide Ireland
into st least three provinces. In this way
the conflict between the O-angemen AID
the Catholic factions would be avoided.
Everyone here believes that there viii
be 8 very serious time IN ireland this
winter. The reign Of force always re-
suits in acts Ct retaliation upon the part
OF the oppressed. The sympathy Of the
best people in R9gland went out 20 the
Irish people sfter the police murders OF
MitchellstoWr, but this sympathy re-
ceived & shock within the next f0rty-eight
| hours By the report OF the murder OF one
! Of the best officers oi the cODstabulary in
| Ireland when he wss engaged il protect
| ing bOyCOtted Irish family agsinst the
| stacks Of moonltghters. Naturally tsis
has been made very much Of ty the Tors
press, end the argument that one wrong
! IS the justification for another has
been presented IN the most persuasive
! phrases. THE situation in Ireland is
| nearly the exact psrsliel with the situa-
/ ton in the south during the raconstruc-
ton period. During the reign of the
strong arm, Cs il Was called. Of the gov
erEment murders Eud outrages prevailed
everywhere. TIE best people il the south
were EeId responsible, jlst as the best
people in Ireland are to-day held respon-
sible for the criminal acts Of the Moon
lighters. SO long IS Ireland IS ruled by
fatca Against the sentiment of the masses
OF her people these ousrages on both
sidss will necessarily occur. The
Tories never learn. They are as stupid
md unyielding to-day as they were wheR
ETley refused justice to the American
fccIonies only to lose them IN the end.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct. 2I.-Gen-
er2l MISTER Workman PoWderly, in an

kea last evening, said: 81 an very well
sztiafed with the work of the General

ance fund will be very beneficial. II will
tend to take the premium of our strikes.
Men will be obliged to have grave occa-
sion now before they will walk out
knowing they can expect no f0an-
cial aid from the order. I have
noticed there is grSdual tendency
all over the country for employers and
employees to get closer together. When
the fact is known that the organization

do not look for any serious lsbor difficult
ties during the coming year. l con'tthink
there Will be any great strikes. If any
difficulties arise they will be settled By
arbitration; it is the easiest way out Of
trouble. Yes, think there will be
healthy increase in the orders member
ship in the future. There is disposition
on the part of agriculturalists to come
into the order. In the smaller towns in
the country farmers are joining assem-
blies that are already in existence, and
sIe organizing new ones made up almost
entirely Of farmers. This is the kind Of
strength that is needed in the order;
this is Just the kind Of members that tRe
conservative members OF the order want
to see come in. The law just passed
governing the district, state ana trades
assemblies will be beneficial; II fact the
entire Legislative work Of tne session WAS
wise and conservative, and will tend 20
give the whole colntTy confidence il ,4e
purposes of the order"

the wind" The native Africans
have crocodiles and serpents and
owls for their gods. Some of them of
a higher grade set their faith in foxes
and rabbits and jaybirds. Down
South the good negroes used to tell
the white children stories at night
about the tar baby, and the bear and
the bee tree, and foxes and wolves,
but the bad negroes told us about
witches and ghosts and Jack o'lan-
terms and raw head and bloody bones,
and we would listen until we didn't
dare to look round, and we wouldn't
have gone from their cabins to the
"big house" alone for world full Of
gold.
Napoleon said that all men were
towards by night, but it was those
old negroes that made us so, and our
generations has never recovered from
it. Christmas was a great season for
negroes in slavery times. 1t was a
feast and a frolic for a whole week
and their children were just as good
as the white children then and all
froliced together.
But at this joyous season there
should be nothing but love and kind
ness and good will. For twelve days,
if no more, let envy and hate and
malice and selflshness all be banished
to the caves and the wilderness.
Then rich and merry Christmas to the rich,
And bright and happy Christmas to the
poor;
So their hearts are joyous it doesn't matter
which
Has the fine velvet carpet on the floor.
For riches bring trouble when they come,
And money leaves pain when it goes;
But everybody now should have little sum
To brighten up the year at its close.

The Chinese, Hindus, and the Other
Peoples of the Earth.

8" 1t has been the custom of late"
says the London Spectator, " to dis
believe in the current estimates of
the population of China but the
North China Herald publishes sta
tistics which strongly support them.
1t appears that the authorities at Pc
kin have recently taken a census for
taxing purposes, and that the village
bailiffs, whose interest it is to under
state the figures, return the popula-
ton at 319,9S3,5O0. Five provinces
are omitted, and their population, as
recorded in the last census, brings
the total up to 1892 millions. Even
this figure is independent of the pop
ulation of Tibet, Kashgar, Iii, and
Corea and the total number of souls
ruled by the Emperor of China,
therefore exceeds 400 millions, and
still displays tendency to increase.
AS the population of India exceeds
$50 millions, the Indians and Chinese
together constitute more than halt
the entire human race; q fact worth
the attention of those philosophers
who study London and Paris, and
then announce that Man believes
this and that. There are many races
of men but some of the foremost
among theme. g., the French and
the Arabs-scarcely increase at all
while a few-e. g., the OttOmans-
slightly decline. If the process now
going on continues for another centu-
ry, the world will belong in the
main to four races, or rather peoples

What is Wrong in Maine ?

A correspondent sends us a news
paper clipping stating that "prohibi-
ton is failure in Maine," and that
Governor Bodwell confesses that he
cannot enforce it, and asks, "What is
wrong in Maine?" We can only
answer, as many times before, that
the statements are utterly false. This
is only a part of the conspiracy to
break the prohibition wave that is
fast going over the country. Govern
or Bodwell distinctly states to us that
the statements attributable him are
utterly false. The New York Sun

lished several dispatches from Maine

CHRISTMAS BELLS.

When Christmas bells are ringing
Around us everywhere,
And snowy gems are swinging
Like spirits in the air,
We laugh so loud and merrily,
We feel so wondrous gay,
We quite forget some eyes are wet
With tears on Christmas day.
When Christmas bells are ringing,
And friends we love are near,
Their laughter and their singing
Are pleasant sounds to near;
But while with love and jollity
Our bosoms overflow,
Some turn to weep for those who sleep
Beneath the church.yard snow.

SKYWARD.
land.

"Come," sang the old mother rob-
in as she pushed one little bird after
another out of the nest, and flew be-
fore them to the branch above.
"Come! sitting still in the nest
will never teach you the glory Of the
sky. Come up higher"
The little trembling things, fright
ened at their own heart-beats looked
up to their mother, fluttered their
wings and 10! they were on the
branch beside her.
/" 1t wasn't such a journey after all,
was it, my darlings? Now for an
other flight" And up she goes into
the top of the tree.
All, that is long way for the ten
der, unused wings, but twig at a
time, and then a branch, pausing at
each little resting-place which God
has fashioned for it,at lenght the very
top of the tree is reached.
Now, look, my brides! There is
the world before you; but remem-
Der, skyward path is the safe one.
Down there are green meadows and
sparkling streams, and fields full of
grain and ripe berries. You may
venture there for a bit to eat, but
when you try your wings in a Ion
ger flight, mount up"
The little birds understood every
word of her song, though mine is but
poor translation; and they looked
up into the blue depths of the sky
and felt the pure sweet air blowing
down upon them, and they loved the
skyward path the best. Now the
sun shines on the outspread wings,
and their song cuts the air as they
mount toward the sky.
Some birds outsoar them, piercing
the distant blue with their tiny wings
and sending back flood of happy
song. But that does not trouble
them, because they know, as well as
you or l know, that a robin is not g
lark, but they believe it is better tt
aim high than just fiutter along the
meadow paths seeing only the bright
blossoms or their own shadows ir
the little streams.
Learn a lesson from the robin. Try
the powers which God has given you
and every day mount higher. ID
not be content with pleasant places
near you; but make them the bright
err for your presence and the sweete
for your cheerful song; but then
when all that is done, come up high
err.
By each duty well done by eacl
little trial cheerfully accepted; b.
each cross borne bravely by eacl
kind act and loving word; by each dc
NAL Of self, and each pain felt for an
other; by the twigs and the branches
come up higher! And some ola.
you shall reach the top of the tire
and look out with a glad heart int
the free air and sunshine of nobl
life.
